SOCIETY IN CHINA.
Some Curious Habits Entirely Opposite to
Western Civilization.

The highest ambition of Chinese gentle
man is to have nice coffin and fine fu-
neral writes Wong Chin Foo.
Old women instead of the young are The
idols of society.
Lovemaking is only done three days be-
fore marriage. 1t is not only considered the
safest way to get ahead of rival, but the
surest way to get wife without losing much
time.
A previous mountaineering between the
male and female prevents them from mar
riage. For this reason a man seldom weds a
girl of his own town.
A man could borrow money on the strength
of his having son, but no one would ad-
vance him a cent if he had a dozen of daugh-
tiers. The former is responsible for the debts
of his father for three generations. The lat
ter is only responsible for the debts of her
own husband
When a Chinaman meets another, he
shakes and squeezes his own hands; covers
his head. If great friends had not seen each
other for long time, after the mutual hand
shaking they would rub shoulders until they
became tired. Instead of asking each others

Negotiations for the purchase Of a

as the Fordice group, have been pend
ing for several months between the
owners and a Chicago company. Dur

%perience, and a member Of the company
referred to, accompanied by Mr.. F. Ii.
Long, a well known Chicago mining
expert, spent several days in the thor
ough examination Of the property, the
result of which, we are reliably inform
ed, was highly satisfactory TO all parties
concerned, and which we are assured
will eliminate In a tin sale in that
popular district, soon after the holidays,
of greater magnitude than any hitherto
consumated in the Hills.

of two full tin claims Of 1900 feet in
length, each, and 800 feet in width, viz:
The Tin Queen and Clara Belle lodes,
and twenty acres Of placer ground con-
tanning gold and stream tin, and said to
be rich in these metals. The placer
ground lies in close proximity to the
tin claims, and is supplied with water

a means Of water supply for all required
purposes upon the tin claims. the 1ume

Queen, upon which the work Of devel-

development work consists Of an open

width, presenting a face of thirty feet,
all in ore, The vein matter in this lode
is mainly composed of mica schist,
quartz, and feldspar, Astounding in
numerous crystals Of black tin, or cassit-
erlte. The foot wall of the vein is Of a
character very closely resembling black
granite, and the hanging wall, which
thus far has not been encountered in
the workings, will doubtless prove TO be
slate, as the surface groupings plainly
indicate. A large amount Of the mica
schist, or decomposed vein matter has
been sluiced by Mr.. Hebert, more as an
experiment than for profit, resulting, as
we are assured in a product of from one
to five pounds Of tin crystals to the pan.
We are also informed that this lode has
been examined by some of the best ex
perts in this country and Europe, who
